  I wish someone would have told me about them when we were in the NICU. I keep going back to the normal one and just can't complete it because so much just doesn't apply to us.
  
  I don't have suggestions, and probably saw the same ones online that you did. I think of of them have customer reviews which might be helpful. I just wanted to say that I think it is a great idea.
  
  Oh, and congrats to you and your girls. I hope you have a smooth and boring NICU stay!

  ETA those stickers are in spanish... we got them in English but I cannot find them on the site right now.

  Thanks for the suggestions, I will look into them.  I would like to get a book soon so I can stop keeping information all over the place!

  I bought a pretty journal (100+ pages) and made a daily log entry. On each page I wrote his weight, feeds, O2 levels, etc. as well as anything and everything that happened. I loved that at the time I wasn't limited by space or constraints. After my son came home I transferred that information along with pictures that we took into an official book and had it printed through Shutterfly. I love having all of his pictures and NICU journey in one place. I would highly recommend it. All the NICU books I saw never seemed to do it justice for me. I wanted to document so much and a plain lined journal gave me space to just write. feelings, thoughts, ANYTHING!
